(BH93-95 points) Reduction masks the underlying fruit. This is perhaps the most complex wine in the entire range and along with the Amoureuses perhaps the most refined as well as the silky middle weight flavors simply glide across the palate while delivering flat out superb length on the beautifully balanced finale, indeed this could aptly be described as Zen-like in its unmatched sense of harmony. While the supporting structure is firm this is already so pretty and en forme that it could actually be enjoyed on the younger side.

(WA91-93 points) The 2014 Clos St Denis Grand Cru has a very refined, very cohesive, elegant bouquet with red cherry, wild strawberry and rose petals - wonderful. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannin on the entry, a thickly layered Clos Saint Denis with dense, ripe raspberry and cranberry fruit, though it just needs a little more detail on the finish if he wants to "strut" like the Amoureuses. - Neal Martin
